The 37-year-old victim told police he was driving in the 2400 block of Aso Taro Road around 7:30 p.m. when he saw a light-brown, early 2000 Lexus four-door sedan with three occupants that he thought he knew.

He flagged them down and walked up to the driver’s window, only to realize the passengers were not who he thought they were as one of them brandished a handgun and told him to get inside the car. After they robbed him, the occupants told him to get out and run away, according to police.

The occupants of the Lexus were described as three men in their 20s. The gunman, armed with a small gray semiautomatic pistol, was black, 6 feet 1, last seen wearing a white T-shirt and a beanie. A second man was Latino, 6 feet 1 with a stocky build, last seen wearing a white T-shirt. The third occupant was also wearing a white T-shirt, according to a report.
